Frequently Asked Questions
What will my ORGANIC gear look like?
ORGANIC Climbing Products in which you can choose colors are made one of a kind by recycling our cutting scraps in your choice of colors to build your items multi color arrangement, this allows us to offer unique artistic hand made items, recycle our fabric scraps and ensures production flow and economics for customer. Please note we are not able to guarantee designs without custom charges and email communication prior to placing order.

Please note CUSTOM orders can take up to 6-8 weeks for sewing we will provide timeline during initial quote.
Color Swatches and Color Matching?
We do the very best we can to display the colors available in our online color tiles. Please note however that these can vary slightly by computer screen and we do not guarantee their accuracy on screens so please use them for general color guidance only. Unlike graphic design on computers or Paint, Heavy duty Textiles are not an exact science and while our Cordura Nylon Suppliers are the best in the business each dye lot (batch of fabric they make) can vary slightly. As the months and years go by we purchase alot of fabric from our suppliers and it can vary slightly in shade. While it is to their tolerance it may not be 100 percent identical to a batch months or years ago. Our goal is to make the most durable products possible and slight variance in color will in no way affect the quality or durability of the product.
